05B200 - Walter ICECUT 2-Inch x 1-Inch Annular Cutter with AICrN Coating

Advanced Metallurgy for Superior Hole Making

The Walter 05B200 ICECUT Annular Cutter represents a significant leap forward in metal drilling technology, specifically engineered for heavy-duty industrial applications where precision, speed, and tool longevity are paramount. At the core of this cutter's performance is its revolutionary coating—a proprietary blend of chromium and aluminum (AICrN). Unlike traditional Titanium (TiN) or Titanium-Aluminum (TiAlN) coatings, the AICrN formulation provides an exceptional thermal barrier, allowing the cutter to withstand operating temperatures up to 200 degrees Celsius higher than conventional alternatives. This thermal stability is critical when drilling hard materials like stainless steel or when working in environments where liquid coolants are restricted or difficult to apply.

The 2-inch diameter and 1-inch depth of cut make this tool a versatile asset for structural steel fabrication, MRO operations, and custom metalworking. The physical geometry of the ICECUT is as impressive as its coating. It features fully ground, extra-large flutes that facilitate rapid chip evacuation, preventing heat buildup and clogging that can lead to premature tool failure. The modern tooth design is optimized to reduce vibration and chatter, ensuring a clean, burr-free finish that often eliminates the need for secondary reaming or deburring operations. This efficiency translates directly to reduced cycle times and lower cost-per-hole.

Compatibility is a key consideration for any tooling inventory. The Walter ICECUT incorporates a universal shank design, ensuring seamless integration with a wide array of magnetic drilling units and stationary machines. Whether you are drilling through aluminum plates, structural beams, or stainless steel enclosures, the 05B200 delivers consistent, high-torque performance. The coating's resistance to immediate impact and stress loads further enhances the cutter's durability, making it a reliable choice for high-volume production environments where downtime for tool changes must be minimized. By combining advanced materials science with precision engineering, Walter has created a cutter that not only meets but exceeds the rigorous demands of modern metal fabrication.
